I've been rocking 3, 40inch 1080p 60hz Best Buy insignia TV's, for about three years now. I bought them because I was heavy into Online racing. And they also worked nicely with with the other game I love Arma 3.

I've been thinking of upgrading lately, and I want to keep my cost to around $1K CAD.

My system specs are an i13900K, 7900XTX and 32 Gig's of ram.

So anyways these are my 3 (to 4ish) choices.

  1. Keep the triple monitor setup with 3 1440p ips monitors. These are the cheapest option for me.

  2. (and 3ish)Going high end OLED and getting a SAMSUNG 42-Inch 144hz OLED Smart TV. Ken from the Denki Channel uses this as his work monitor and raves about it.

    Or getting a Samsung 49 inch ultrawide OLED monitor . (I'm not sure about this one because it's only 1440p)

  3. Get some 50 inch 144hz 4K QLED type TV. (I like big screens and I cannot lie.) To me 27 is too small but that is apparently the golden zone for 1440p. Any size larger and I want to go 4K.

And the dark horse would be to try some XR glasses. like the the new Viture Beast.

I am leaning towards the 42 inch Samsung OLED.

Anyways if you have other suggestions please let me know. I appreciate your help.

Yeah, if the resolution is the only issue? Keep three screens, you'll enjoy the wrap-around. Especially for racing, a single screen will leave you wanting.

Not to say you definitely won't like a single screen. But you know why you like what you like.
